Parts of Soho shut again as more parts of WW2-era bomb found

Police have closed parts of central London for a second day after more pieces of a WW2-era bomb were unearthed.

Pictures captured around Dean Street in Soho showed officers erecting cordons in similar areas as the day before.

Victor Garvey, who was at the scene on both days of police action, told LBC News the atmosphere seemed "a lot more urgent".

He added: "The police are being very aggressive (not in a violent way) getting people out.

"There are twice as many police if not more."

Reflecting on the information that the bomb had gone undetected for decades, he said: "It's obviously not great for business but I'm more perplexed as to how we've all been living and working and playing on top of two functioning undetonated WW2 bombs and no one told us this might be a possibility."
